I checked if this thread already existed and I didn't find it. If it actually exist, I apology.

It would be great to recut the 2019 new master of The Shining (used for the last UHD by Warner) in order to match the shorter european cut. Unfortunately Warner didn't include this cut in the last UHD. Even in the UK, the blu-ray of this shorter cut disc included in the UHD didn't use the new remaster?

I'm conscious it is a bit odd to ask "do something please" but I have absolutely no knowledge to do it myself.

Hi Everyone!
I'm XanaxTheGreat (Why this silly name? I don't even know myself). I'm a french movie enthusiast, host of a radioshow dedicated to pop culture, co-writer of a fanzine and (occasionaly) short movie director. I discovered the amazing work of fan restorers during the lockdown, thanks to forums loke OriginalTrilogy.com and TheStarWarsTrilogy.com.
I'm happy to be among you :-)

Hey Everyone

I cant believe I just found this forum. I got introduced to restorations after watching the Despecialized Star Wars a couple of years ago and have been wishing for a way to chat to a community about it. I'm a huge movie fan. Looking forward to some good chats with everyone!

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to fix Sony's disastrous NTSC DVD of The Storyteller, Jim Henson's mythical 1987 series.

The first problem I have with interlacing. Supposedly the series was shot in 35 mm, but with a inverse telecine I don't get good results.

Neither with filters such as QTGMC, TDeint, TMC ... I cannot eliminate residual images, ghosting, saw effect in the contours and other artifacts.

Could anyone help me to fix and restore the video?

This is a sample of the uncompressed DVD:

Thanks in advance.

The original ending of NBK is a quick montage accompanied by a Nine Inch Nails song called Burn. This was how it was released in theaters, VHS and LaserDisc. DVD Era NBK had a director's cut where this part was changed to generic tribal music and every release since has continued this tradition. I thought it would be a nice easy project to restore the original ending to whatever release is considered the best image quality today, some grammar school level restoration that I can handle (although if anyone more experienced wants to take the project, I will get out of the way). Oliver Stone has never mentioned preferring the tribal music to Burn, so I've always thought it was a mistake, or an omission beyond choice. Either way, I find the NIN ending a superior exclamation on the film.

Here's a video of the two endings if you're interested to see the difference. (NSFW)
